SU read one article and has been harping on it for 6 months. That's fine, but his beef is with Robinson and not the group as a whole. If he changed his snarky first post to "Clement is the very essence of what [Stephen Robinson] would call an agent of the Great Apostasy" there would not have been a peep at of me. That is a true statement unless he has changed his view recently.

The rest of the thread is an absurd combination of me agreeing with SU in general but pointing out that if anything many FARMS authors have come around to agree with many (but not all) of his points about hellenism and early Christianity so using FARMS as his whipping boy is obtuse in this context.
Don't worry about SU. We all know he is Dorkus Maximus.
